Mardi Gras isn’t just a month-long party it’s also a brilliant opportunity to showcase some of the most exciting queer cultural work from around the world. Alexi Kaye Campbell’s Olivier Award-winning play The Pride centres on the challenges facing homosexual relationships in the late fifties and the 2000s.
Flitting from 1958, where Oliver and Phillip must hide their love both from society and themselves, to the present day, where anonymous sex and empty style collide with the human heart, Darlinghurst Theatre Company’s production is a poignant and powerful exploration of our turbulent times, our restrictive society, and our troubled past.
